I’d say it applies in a lot of other career paths too. Creating something of quality requires holistic life experience. Otherwise it leads to shallow self-absorbed outcomes. Maybe that’s why enshitification is all the rage nowadays, not just pure shortsighted fast-profit-asap greed.

The problem as applied to philosophy is particularly concerning to me since those errors become the framework for thought, but yeah its otherwise not terribly different from the architect who doesnt code, the professor who hasnt spent time in industry, the philanthropist who lives in a bunker, etc.

Yes. Philosophy should be read by people who want to deconstruct it and then argue with it. Unfortunately laymen love to take it by face value and try to apply it as-is.

I guess sort of as marketing. When people buy fancy brands hoping to repeat what was shown in the ads.
